Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner
Sheet pan dinners are essentially taking a large baking sheet, and filling it with chopped vegetables and your favorite protein! How easy is that? You can make a sheet pan dinner in the summer, using all those glorious fresh garden veggies, or in the winter, using root vegetables, like carrots, beets, parsnips, or rutabagas.
On a cold winter’s day, I relished in the cold and the joyful simplicity of being in my kitchen, preparing a meal for my family.
Chopping, paring, peeling, adding so much color to a drab cookie sheet–all very calming activities for me.
How to make Sausage Sheet Pan Dinners
When I say color, when I’m cooking, my heart never fails to take a leap when I see all the glorious colors of the rainbow, even if they’re a little more drab in the winter. The orange of carrots, the mixed colors of rutabaga and white parsnips, the rich chunks of beef sausage. (I buy Organic Kielbasa Smoked Beef Sausage from Costco.)
Drizzled with oil. Topped with delicious-smelling fresh herbs.
Be still my heart!
We have a beautiful life, Friends. Even with cooking, I don’t want to rush the process, but instead enjoy the thoughtfulness of cooking. Cooking for my family brings me a sense of comfort, one of my highest priorities right now in this season of life.
A delicious sheet pan dinner makes me thankful that I can eat in our own home, even with such a simple meal.
Served with a side of brown rice! You can always serve it with a sauce, or sriracha sauce or soy sauce too!
So good!

Parsnips Rutabaga Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner
Ingredients
- 1-2 pounds sausage links, cut in chunks (I buy Organic Kielbasa Smoked Beef Sausage)
- 3-4 parsnips, cut in small chunks
- 2-3 rutabaga, peeled and cut into small chunks
- 2 sweet white onion, quartered
- 2 yellow bell peppers, sliced
- Salt & pepper
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/4-1/3 cup olive or avocado oil
- Fresh thyme
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Make sure and chop the rutabaga and parnips into small pieces, the peppers and onions into larger pieces. (If larger pieces, roast them longer before adding the beef.)
- In a large bowl, add all the ingredients together (except fresh thyme and red pepper flakes). Drizzle the mixture with oil. Mix together with your hands or a large spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Pour onto the large baking sheet. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and cook an additional 10-15 minutes, until the parsnips and rutabaga are soft. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and red pepper flakes (optional).
- Serve right in the pan, with a side of rice!

I was looking for something to do with my remaining rutabaga that I had left over from a stew I made when I found your recipe this morning. Unfortunately I had just used my remaining parsnips yesterday in a casserole, but did have some turnips so I used them instead. Also, since I’m on the Auto Immune Protocol (AIP) Diet for my autoimmune disease, I can’t have peppers, but I had some radishes, and often use them in place of peppers in recipes. I also had some AIP compliant Chicken and Bacon Smoked Sausage, so I was able to throw together an AIP complaint version of your recipe and simply loved it. Thank you so much for this recipe which was the inspiration for the AIP compliant version. It is definitely a new favorite.
I love a good sheet pan dinner! So yummy! And so easy….can’t forget that important detail
